California

Everybody who visits the United States does at least know two states and
their approximate location: California and Florida. My boyfriend and I were
staying in San Jose close to San Francisco for a week in March and explored the
Bay area. The name California is said to be derived from a mythical paradise
known as Calafia, which was pictured in a Spanish novel. California is the state
with the highest population and is probably best known today for its wines and
its governor and famous actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, which was first very
popular but recently is said to have better stayed out of politics. However,
California is one of the more liberal states - legalized medical Marijuana and a huge
gay population in San Francisco are only two examples of it.
